Presentation Info: Presentation Date: August 9, 2018 TAHC&H Event: TAHC&H Annual Meeting | Frisco Subscription Type: Individual Education-Training Credits: TX HCSSA Administrator/Alternate Continuing Education 1.0 Clock Hrs CE Approval Statements:
· This program meets continuing education requirements for Administrators and Alternates under Texas HCSSA licensing regulations. HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][7]financial management Program Description: This program provides a high-level overview of the strategic imperatives and emerging opportunities facing home health, hospice, and other home-based care providers. It explores the paths that CMS, Medicaid agencies, and other payers are likely to follow in refining and expanding risk-based payment models—both for post-acute providers as well as their acute care referral partners. Along with the adoption and diffusion of ACOs and other value-based payment models, it addresses the implications of the expansion in Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care for the growth and profitability of post-acute care providers. Against the backdrop of rising managed care penetration and more risk-based payment models, there is a look at how demographics and evolving consumer preferences are likely to affect the post-acute care business model. The program concludes with an exploration of the different business models that leading home-based care organizations are pursuing, ranging from serving as the high-reliability downstream provider to acting as the comprehensive post-acute care manager for hospitals and payers. Program Learning Outcome: Learners will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change their practice by applying strategies to remain competitive as new value-based payment models emerge. TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter: Fred Bentley, Vice President, Avalere About the Presenter:

A 2021 Hospice Academy Presentation Presentation Info: TAHC&H Virtual Event | Hospice Academy 2021 | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | April 14, 2021 Program Description: As hospice professionals, we comfort family members suffering through the sadness and grief related to the death of a loved one. The bereavement program we provide helps them cope and eventually thrive in their new normal. It is hard but fulfilling work. All too often, bereavement services are not seen as a vital role of hospice care. What if the bereavement program is reevaluated, along with the role of the bereavement coordinator? What if bereavement services can be viewed in a new way? The concepts provided in this webinar will help your bereavement program to thrive and grow while serving those dealing with death in a meaningful way. In this session, we will discuss the role of the bereavement program and adding the bereavement coordinator as a member of the hospice team, what regulations say about bereavement services, and how to breathe new life into bereavement services by viewing it from a different perspective.
